We're managing the delivery of upgrading the Queens Parade service lane between Smith Street and George Street, on behalf of the Department of Transport and Planning.

Early site preparation works began in June 2025. The upgrade is expected to be complete by late 2025, subject to change.

Included in the upgrade will be a new separated bike lane, two additional accessible car park spaces and a new bus stop platform which will be level with the footpath. This will improve safety, accessibility and connectivity for cyclists, pedestrians, public transport users and vehicles.

We will also be managing the water main upgrades along Queens Parade with Greater Western Water to ensure reliable water supply for the future.

Built Environs has been appointed to deliver the upgrade to the Queens Parade service lane, which will be managed by Development Victoria.

From late July 2025, works will include:

• Left lane access from Smith Street onto the Queens Parade service lane will be closed and is not intended to reopen with access maintained via the main arterial road.
• Closure of 4 car spaces within the Queens Parade service lane.
• Temporary closure of the footpath on southern Queens Parade, between Smith Street and George Street, with pedestrian detours in place.
• Pedestrian access to the Wurun Senior Campus will always be maintained.
